If there is nothing to be found on the road, I think the route is not for OSM. If the route is "permanently" waymarked, even poorly waymarked but you can see it on the road, it's ok. If a permanent and known route consists of differently waymarked routes it uses those waymarks, so it's still waymarked and can be recorded in OSM. I stress permanent and known, because I want to exclude instant routes made by combining pieces of different routes or made out of node network sections. E-routes (European international routes for cycling and hiking) are examples. They tend to use national/regional known trails; they have there own waymarks but these are sparsely distributed and not intended to guide you through every turn. In less dense and less OSM-developed countries I would even map it if there were say centrally placed plaques/boards/steles in a chain of towns and cities, signifying that this is the .... trail. E.g. a st Jacob's pilgrim camino from church to church, leaving the way in between to be determined by pilgrim logic. I would choose a sort of routing profile: foot, preferably unpaved, no sightseeing deviations, PT-stops are a plus so might weigh up to a deviation.
Bt maybe that's stretching it too much.
